@ex LC is irrelevant.
Moving all the IT losers to the Hess building… LC is just taking a fat paycheck from Chevron. None of his peers even know he exists. Think about it- every single one of his peers are in HOU140 five days a week, doesn’t take 9/80s., and they actually talk to each other.
LC is hanging out with his EY buddies at the Hess building. He gets into the office at 8, and he’s gone by 3.
He has made IT completely irrelevant because nobody even knows that he exists besides his employees. It’s an ivory tower that nobody else in the company cares about.
@t8 outsourcing jobs to India.
Facebook is offering millions to top level AI programmers.. I've been using copilot and may apply
@OP No, never, nada....get another job.
@cn so then what is valued by CVX?
@ew hope they were sacked they’re a bunch of overpaid buffoons that sit in closed rooms watching red and green lights
Anyone realize that this Ai 🤖 revolution is full of bs. And that in less then 16 months we have a crash. Will chevron be ahead or behind the curve
@k7 no not really.
engine has become steady state, and you’re starting to see external postings based in Houston again.
there’s definitely talks about retention, even for SAP consultants on the IT side
@OP Tech, finance, HR, HSE + are all getting offshored at all levels. They will push you out regardless of any expertise or knowledge based on the last couple of years. Offshoring is their focus. Look at the job posting locations. No career advancement in the US. Certainly not trying to retain you.
Absolutely not! ELT hates the technical staff and is making it an absolutely miserable place to work for us. No way they will let a tiny bit of sunshine hit us in the dark and depressing world we are in now!
no one is answering how they are accelerating offshoring (other then making it miserable). attrition isnt going to get them there....or maybe it will?
A.B.C.
A - Always; B - Be; C - Closing
Always be closing.
Always Be Closing!
- Always* Be Closing!!
@cq I call BS. If anything, LC is butthurt about AI so he has promoted all the roles under his friends to GMs and Directors while no one working on anything AI got promoted.
AK’s team - no promotions; just accelerated offshoring
EAI - the IT chumps on that team, no promotions because he still got them by the ballz
This is LC’s world. Make no mistake about it.
@e5 what happened to cyber?
I heard one lady got a set of steak knives.
just look at what happened to cybersecurity team
There’s a thread on the Oxy board about how AI staff is getting 50% more pay for 3-5 years?
No. In fact, the career progression for technical staff will be stalled for a while after last year's re-org. Many jobs saw the pay range narrowed and lowered as well. Chevron generally doesn't value engineering, as seen by the lack of published work on its behalf.
<12 months is not even possible. It will take an offer then government approval for the merger.
No
Not true
The bonus is you get to keep your job for a year.
There used to be that bonus years ago — now they just pay technical staff more
Chevron will own Oxy in less than 12 months. Should you really ask about this now?
